I dont do alot of high jumping. It was sort of a compatition with the elst2! Mostly the only time I jump really high is at the sand dunes( jumped off a 100ft high dune onto flat sand!!!!!!!) It was really cool(did that with the elst2 a few time a few years back) the highest dune I have taken the e-revo off of was about 60ft high. On the second jump off the dune witrh the e-revo I landed nose down(straight on the bumper) I thought something was going to break but no I was lucky no damage. The front of the e-revo is built really well.

Most of my rear bulkheads that have broken from just general playing around. Nothing really hard core. Thats what surprises me

I have a second set of shocks with 60w oil and the longe travel spring with the p2 rockers. I used that when I was jumping so I wouldnt bottom out on the ramp.

I guess I did fair well as no one other that me knew my truck had broken yesterday. The guy with a t-maxx with a mack 26 in it was with my friend. Well he destroied the whole front end and broke the rear shock tower on its 3rd jump. It landed on its front wheels and it just couldnt take it. I couldnt belive it broke as easly as it did b/c I didnt seem to have alot of issues with my e-maxx off the jump. It might of had some issue before he brought it out(I guess)


Is there any way (if there isnt an aftermarket one) to strengthen the stock bulkhead? I just hate having to buy so many
